CMS Window Systems

Since its inception in January 2006, CMS has enjoyed significant and continued success as one of Scotland’s market leading manufacturers and installers of PVCu, Aluminium and timber hybrid, window, door and curtain walling systems as well as being an external wall insulation (EWI) installer.

CMS employs in excess of 200 people at specialist manufacturing and recycling facilities in North Lanarkshire and Fife. First class workmanship, customer care and product excellence have ensured CMS remains at the forefront within the industry. Local authorities, housing associations, large main contractors, utility companies, professional specifiers and homeowners are all part of its diverse and valued client base.

Together with its supply chain partners CMS has been at the forefront of innovative developments and award-winning practices within the building and housing industry to create energy efficient and environmentally friendly products and systems that not only benefit its customers but have minimal negative impact on the environment too.

Key technological advancements have seen CMS develop a Krypton-free zero carbon window which is fully reinforced using 100% recycled material and can achieve U values as low as 0.8Wm2K – the first manufacturer approved by the BFRC Ratings Council within the UK to be able to corroborate this claim.

CMS was also the first window fabricator in Scotland to be awarded the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) BS OHSAS 18001:2007 Health and Safety certificate from BM TRADA. The company has also secured a number of quality assurance and product excellence awards counting amongst others; ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and the BM TRADA Q-Mark for enhanced security windows and doors.

CMS has become one of the first companies in the building and housing industry to embrace the recommended Living Wage and have been commended by the Scottish government for becoming one of the first firms in the UK to receive a double award from Investors in People Scotland.
